Chapter 95

Xiao Muqing took a deep look at Juno and said with a smile: "General Zhu, besides the woods to the east of the city, there is actually another place where heavy troops can be hidden!"

"Where is it?" Not to mention Juno, everyone else couldn't help but asked in unison with the curiosity in their hearts.

Xiao Muqing said seriously, "It's Yuanwang Town!"

Everyone here doubted whether they heard it wrong. Even Tang Yin found it incredible. The barbarians suffered losses in Yuanwang Town. Once they come back to take revenge, that place will definitely be one of the main targets for the barbarians to wipe out. How could the ambush get there? Wouldn't that hit the barbarian soldiers' guns?

He raised his eyebrows, looked at Xiao Muqing doubtfully, and asked, "Captain Xiao, are you kidding me?"

"This matter is so important, how dare I make a fool of myself?!" Xiao Muqing said seriously: "Sir, Yuanwang Town is one of the towns that is often attacked by barbarians. It stands to reason that all the people in the town should have been killed by the barbarians, but in fact On the contrary, the reason is very simple. Almost every household in Yuanwang Town has a hidden tunnel or cellar. When the barbarians attack, all the people in the town hide in the tunnels or cellars, and the barbarians cannot find anyone. , Similarly, if we arrange an ambush in Yuanwang Town, we can use the original tunnels and cellars in the town as hiding places. Even if the barbarians invade and find that Yuanwang Town has become an empty town, they will never conduct an in-depth search. Besides, no matter how cunning the barbarian soldiers are, they would never have imagined that we could place an ambush right under their noses!"

I see! After listening to Xiao Muqing's analysis, everyone suddenly understood and secretly praised his wisdom in their hearts.

Tang Yin also nodded deeply. No wonder when the barbarians invaded Yuanwang Town, not even a single citizen could be seen in the town. When the barbarians were defeated and fled, the people all showed up in droves. It turned out that they were in every household. Tunnels or cellars can be used for hiding.

At this time, Juno stopped arguing with Xiao Muqing, thought for a moment, and said to Tang Yin: "Sir, I think... Captain Xiao's idea can also be given a try!"

More than just a try, it’s a wonderful way to defeat the enemy! Tang Yin blinked his eyes, looked up and laughed silently, and said: "Okay! Just follow Captain Xiao's strategy. We will set up an ambush of two thousand troops in Yuanwang Town. It's fine if the barbarians don't come. Once the barbarians attack, these two Thousand Brothers can rush out from behind the enemy and catch them off guard!"

After receiving Tang Yin's affirmation, Xiao Muqing's face suddenly showed surprise and pride, feeling that she had finally found a master who could appreciate her talents.

Qiu Zhen glanced at Xiao Muqing out of the corner of his eye. For some reason, he didn't have a good impression of this person. In fact, it is very simple. People of the same sex repel each other. It has always been Qiu Zhen who has always made suggestions around Tang Yin. Now, Xiao Muqing, who is also good at making plans, suddenly appears, which makes Qiu Zhen feel a vague sense of crisis. It also makes him feel vaguely. I feel that my position is not so stable.

However, Qiu Zhen is a very sophisticated person, and no matter how bored he is, he will not show his emotions on his face. He sighed softly and said: "Captain Xiao's strategy is very good, but who will lead this ambush is a big problem. Two thousand strange soldiers can be turned into a sharp sword that can kill the enemy, or they can be turned into nothing." The key to success lies in the ability of the leading general..."

Before Qiu Zhen could finish his words, Tang Yin interrupted and said, "I will lead two thousand brothers to ambush Yuanwang Town!"

"No!" Everyone objected in unison without even thinking about it.

Tang Yin is the commander-in-chief of Pingyuan County and the backbone of everyone. It would be dangerous for him to stay in the border town, let alone ambushing the enemy's rear alone. Well aware of Tang Yin's temper, Qiu Zhen shook his head like a rattle and repeatedly stopped him: "Sir, this is too dangerous. This matter should be discussed in a long term and carefully considered!"

"No need!" Tang Yin said: "If it is dangerous for me to go, then it will be even more difficult for others to do the job." Seeing that Qiu Zhen and others wanted to stop him, he waved his hand and said first, "There is no need to argue about this matter. I have made up my mind! In addition, the fourth and fifth corps will be transferred to the border town, and the first corps will be transferred back to Hengcheng."

"Ah?" There are only two new regiments left in the border town. Isn't this too childish? Everyone opened their eyes in surprise and looked at each other. After a moment of pause, Zhang Zhou hurriedly said: "Sir, this is inappropriate. At least I should keep my first regiment..."

Tang Yin looked at Zhang Zhou, then at Bai Yong and Juno, smiled calmly, and said: "Although your three regiments are staying in Hengcheng, don't think that everything will be easy. If the target of the barbarian attack is really a border town, you You must be ready to send troops to assist or reinforce at any time, do you understand?"

"This..." Zhang Zhou, Bai Yong, and Juno all looked embarrassed, and being left in Hengcheng at such a critical moment made all three of them feel uncomfortable.

It was easy to see through the minds of the three of them. Tang Yin said with a smile: "Actually, General Bai is right. This is indeed a rare opportunity to train troops. The three of you have fought against barbarians countless times. This time, let's do it." Let’s give the opportunity to the two new corps!”

"Sir, we are not greedy for war or success!" Bai Yong said eagerly: "But we are concerned about the safety of the border town and the safety of you!"

Of course Tang Yin could feel the worries the three of them had about him. While he was moved in his heart, a look of relief appeared on his face and he said leisurely: "Don't worry, the barbarians are strong, but I haven't taken them seriously yet!"

"That's right!" At this time, the two brothers Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao stood up and said arrogantly: "Today's fight, the barbarians are nothing more than that. With us two brothers by your side, I guarantee that you will be safe!"

The two Shangguan brothers are definitely proud, and their superb spiritual martial arts skills are considered to be top-notch masters in the entire Feng Kingdom. However, Zhang Zhou, Bai Yong, and Juno did not relax because of their words. The two Shangguan brothers were very powerful, but they were not as powerful as the thousands of barbarian soldiers.

Zhang Zhou still refused to give up and said, "I hope you will think twice!"

Tang Yin shook his head with a smile, picked up the teacup on the side, and drank the tea slowly. He didn't say anything, but his meaning was already clear, and there was no room for compromise in his decision.

Seeing his persistence, Qiu Zhen understood that there was no need to persuade him anymore. No matter how much he said, Tang Yin would not change his mind. He shook his head at Zhang Zhou who was still talking, indicating that he didn't need to say any more, and then said to Tang Yin: "Sir, the two thousand brothers who are ambushing Yuanwang Town should be selected from the first, second, and third corps. After all, these three The brothers in the corps are rich in experience, can stay calm at critical moments, will not reveal their flaws, and can cause maximum damage to the enemy soldiers during battle!"

"Yes!" Tang Yin had no objection to Qiu Zhen's proposal. He nodded and said, "Okay! Qiu Zhen, it's up to you to handle this matter!"

"Yes! Sir!" Qiu Zhen responded with his hands.

Tang Yin turned his gaze to Xiao Muqing, who was sitting at the end, pretending to be calm, and considered what position he should give him.

Xiao Muqing is a very smart person. If Qiu Zhen is a genius who is good at making suggestions, then this Xiao Muqing is a genius who is good at opportunism and taking advantage of loopholes. Tang Yin wants to reuse this person, but for a while he doesn't know what position to give him.

After pondering for a long time, he said to Xiao Muqing: "Captain Xiao, in the future, you should take up a position in the army!"

Those who join the army are civilian officials and belong to the general's staff. Their responsibilities are similar to those of military advisors and staff officers. Although joining the army does not have actual rights, you will serve by the coach's side and participate in the coach's decision-making. Your responsibilities and status are very high in the military.

With just one sentence, Tang Yin directly promoted Xiao Muqing, a small captain, to join the army, which was a step to the top.

Xiao Muqing was stunned for a long time and did not react. It was not until everyone around him cleared their throats impatiently that he suddenly woke up. He stood up hurriedly, walked to Tang Yin, knelt down on one knee in fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for your cultivation, thank you very much." Your Majesty, I love you!"

Tang Yin chuckled lightly and waved his hand, signaling Xiao Muqing not to be polite.

He said with a smile: "I hope Xiao Shenjun can do his best in the future and come up with more ingenuity to strengthen my army!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will do their best!"

Everyone around him couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. They secretly cursed the flattery in their hearts and had disapproving expressions on their faces.

Only Qiu Zhen's face looked a little heavy. He looked at Tang Yin and then Xiao Muqing, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"That's it for today." Tang Yin looked around at everyone and said: "The matters discussed just now are strictly prohibited from being leaked. Also, General Bai and General Zhu, you two will return to Hengcheng immediately and make corresponding preparations. General Zhang will temporarily Stay in the border town, I have something to ask you, everyone, do you still have any questions?"

"No, sir!"

"Okay, brothers, you can invite us back."

"My subordinates say goodbye!" Everyone stood up and walked out.

Zhang Zhou did not leave with the others because he didn't know what Tang Yin wanted him to do.

When everyone was almost gone, he asked: "Sir, what else can I do?"

Tang Yin smiled and said: "The Fourth and Fifth Corps are new corps with no experience. I hope that after these two corps are transferred to the border town, General Zhang can guide them on how to deploy their defenses."

"Oh, that's it." Zhang Zhou said seriously: "Sir, please rest assured that my subordinates will teach the brothers of the two corps how to fortify and defend the city in the shortest possible time."

Tang Yin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then I'll trouble General Zhang!"

"My lord, you're welcome!"

Military orders are like mountains. Following Tang Yin's order, Bai Yong and Juno were the first to return to Hengcheng, taking away the First Corps. Immediately afterwards, the Fourth and Fifth Corps set out from Hengcheng and stationed in the border town.

Although the Fourth and Fifth Corps are numbered as two corps, there are actually only more than 10,000 people. In addition, the personnel are all new recruits. Their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of a regular corps. However, recruits also have one advantage, that is, they are full of energy. , very high-spirited, and their fear of barbarians is far less than that of veterans. As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. All the recruits can think about is going into battle to kill the enemy and protect their homes and country.
